In the 9th century, Arab writers usually called one of the equal factors of a number jadhr (“root”), and their medieval European translator used the Latin word radix (from which derives the adjective radical). Radix is the Latin for root, and radical is the name of the square root symbol.

It is called a square root because you are having to find a number that is multiplied by itself to get the number that is intended. Let's you have to find the square root of 16. It would of course be 4 because 4*4 is 16. So in this case it could also be written as 4 to the second power. Hope this helped. :)

Last year a college admitted 32% of its applicants. If 1696 were admitted last year, how many students applied?
Troyanec [42]
For this problem, you can use the proportion 1696/x = 32/100 since 1696 is 32% (or 32/100) of an unknown number of students . 
You can cross-multiply to get 32x = 169600
Then divide on both sides by 32 and get to 5300. 
Answer: 5300 student applied last year. 
Hope that helps!

Ierofanga [76]
First point to be noted here is, the shelf and the book are 5 inches wide. So it is perfect to hold the book.

The shelf is 56 inches tall and the book is 4 inches thick. To find the number of books Linda can arrange on the shelf, just divide 56 by 4

Number of books Linda can arrange on the shelf = 56 ÷ 4 = 14 books
